6 squared = 3 squared + x squared if x is the height (altitude) of the triangle 36 = 9+x squared x squared =27 so x = 3 sqrt3 = 5.19615
The altitude of an equilateral triangle is (√3)/2*a. where 'a' is the side of the triangle. It can be just find by giving a perpendicular to the base of the triangle, the base of the triangle become a/2 and one side is a. so by applying Pythagoras theorem we will get the desired formula.
The altitude/height of an equilateral triangle can be calculated by taking the perpendicular bisector of any side. This line will bisect its opposite angle forming two congruent right angled triangles. The side length of the original equilateral triangle is the hypotenuse and the short leg of right angled triangle is half the hypotenuse. By Pythagoras' Theorem : 42 = 22 + L2.........where L is the length of the altitude. L2 = 42 - 22 = 16 - 4 = 12 L = √12 = 2√3 = 3.464 (3dp)
The length of the third side of an equilateral triangle is the same as the lengths of both of the other two sides.
Using Pythagoras' theorem it works out as 10.5 units of measurement
To find the altitude or height of an equilateral triangle, take one-half of the length of a side of the triangle and multiple by "square root" of 3. So, if for example, the side has length 10, the height = 5 Square root of 3.
No. The altitude is smaller.
Given an altitude of 12 units, an equilateral triangle has side lengths of 13.9 (13.85641) units.
Each side of the triangle is 16.16581 units in length.
The altitude forms a right angle triangle with half the side length and one side as the hypotenuse. Using Pythagoras: (½side)² + altitude² = side² → altitude² = side² - ¼side² → altitude² = ¾side² → altitude = (√3)/2 × side → altitude = (√3)/2 × 6 = 3√3 ≈ 5.2

The length of each side is 9.2376 cm. (rounded)
Given side lengths of 8 units, an equilateral triangle will have an altitude of 7 (6.9282) units.
Multiply the altitude by [ 2 / sqrt(3) ] to get the length of the side.[ 2 / sqrt(3) ] is about 1.1547 (rounded)
With an altitude of 10 units, this triangle's sides each measure 11.55 (11.54701) units.
The sides are 2*sqrt(3) units in length.
Height = sqrt(3)/2 * length of side So here, approx 4.3301 cm
